Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Tried all and the only thing which helps is putting my best isolating
shoos on, then it stops ??!!?? The longer I play the warmer and 
sweetier I get and then it comes back, even with my winter shoes.
Did anybody ever try grounding the dtxpress or the rack to avoid this?
